Coastal charm and ambience abound in this home, tucked like a hidden jewel on a private road south of 30A. Each architectural detail, from the raised beamed ceilings, updated kitchen and boundless outdoor living spaces were deliberately and carefully planned by award winning architect Geoff Chick when he oversaw a complete remodel and expansion a few years ago. With a southern beach home in mind, finishes include wide plank white oak flooring, beamed ceilings and sparkling white cabinets. White walls throughout provide airiness and a perfect backdrop for any art collection. Immerse yourself in all of what is 30A - with a four car garage perfect for the golf cart, boat, jet skis and other necessities of beach living! The storage is, in a word, amazing - with custom glass cabinets lining the kitchen wall, a butlers pantry, display and storage cabinets in the living room and book shelves and cabinets in the library and the guest bedroom alcove. Still not enough? Well there is a huge game room off the garage, so perfect for a kids playroom, adapted sleep porch area or workout room. Extended families and those who love company will enjoy vacations with plenty of space for all. This home boasts three large bedrooms, but also four areas that easily convert to sleeping porches, guest alcoves. Photos will soon be available to show these areas as sleeping quarters for kids and their friends and cousins. The expansive decks with views to the Gulf of Mexico and a sweet garden patio provide many hundreds of feet of outdoor living. This home is ideal for buyers looking for a beach home at a great value south of 30A in the desirable area of Blue Mountain Beach. Compare the upscale finishes, the spaciousness, the spaces to convert to sleeping areas and the huge outdoor spaces and it will be easy to see why you should see this beach home. There is space in the fenced backyard to add a pool at your convenience. And finally, this home may be purchased with an extraordinary opportunity!
